Women’s Rights, Peace, and Democracy

Abstract

This paper analyses the reformulations of citizenship, positive peace and democracy‎ of both contemporary feminist theory and the feminist movement. ‎In doing so, it will explain the interrelationship between the feminist movement‎ as a democratic movement and its proposals for reformulating concepts‎ and ideas that make up what we can call the “grammar of politics”. Following ‎Seyla Benhabib, the “democratic iterations” that have been achieved in the ‎framework of human rights will be presented, giving some examples at national‎ and international levels. Finally, the changes and challenges in women’s‎ demands for rights in current scenarios will be analysed.‎
